GET READY FOR A COLORFUL SUMMER |
Louise and I had so much fun pulling fabrics from the shelves, combining what we already had in stock with new fabrics that had just come in. It all added up to a variety of lively combinations to enjoy this summer.
So it's time to get ready. I've posted some photos on the Home Page for inspiration. We pulled out garments made for fashion shows through the years and played with putting them together. See what you think----I'll bet you come up with some great ideas, including ones that haven't occurred to us yet.
These patterns could work especially well for some summer outfits, so we're putting them ON SALE until 8 p.m. Eastern on Sunday, April 18.
You could begin with these 3 solid color linens that speak to summer leaves, sun reflecting on water, and the far horizon. There's also a cotton in black to play around with. Combinations of the solid colors is a great way to get started. Then play around with the variety of fabrics below--some of them are ON SALE until 8 p.m. Eastern on Sunday, April 18.
Add a printed linen (or two)-----
These are ramie prints. Ramie is a cellulose fiber like linen, and these prints are lightweight and lovely--great for summer. The cross-dye linens will work in beautifully too.
These cottons will make campshirts, shells, and tops to fill in the gaps--and you'll come up with even more ideas---------
When linen is combined with rayon, the combination has a bit more drape. These could work into your closet nicely.
And here's a linen/cotton blend from Japan, along with a new knit in rayon/spandex that's lots of fun-----------
Remember to use "Cutting Between the Lines", our PDF booklet, to help you try out combinations of fabrics and patterns so you can coordinate all your choices.
SPREAD THE WORD
Please help us stay connected and expand our sewing community by sharing this newsletter with your friends and have them sign up to receive their own newsletter.
https://www.cuttinglinedesigns.com/newsletter-signup.htm FACEBOOK FORUM So many of you have joined us for fun and learning on the Facebook Forum. However, many of you who have said you want to join have not answered the 3 sewing-related questions. We'd love to have each of you be able to get in, but that can't happen if you haven't answered the questions. Please be sure to answer, because we'd like to know each of you. SAMPLES Please confine your sample requests to 3 per order. That allows us to give you the same prompt service you are used to. Also, remember that if you ask for a sample of a fabric that's on sale, the sale may be over before the sample gets to you through the mail. A REMINDER If you are searching for a specific fabric on the website and you know the number of it, be sure to put a 5-digit number in the search box. Examples: 00532 or 01379. You don't need to include the letters (FF) with the numbers. SHIPPING We want to assure you that we fill all your orders and ship them quickly. It seems that there are some delays with mail service at this time, both within the country and to other countries, so it may take a bit longer than usual for your orders to reach you. However, we are doing our part to send them promptly. By the way, we've heard that a few of you have thought that you had to have a PayPal account to order from us online. That's not the case. Even though you'll see "Check out with PayPal" on one of the order pages, just click on it to go to the next page. You'll see that you can choose whatever credit card you would like to use.
